User blog comment:Gelsadra/The rumour about Lady's spin off game was real/@comment-4807396-20140131061214

Yeah, Capcom paid lip service to the idea and proved that they at least thought about it, but nothing came of it, obviously. Interesting idea, and I'm all for fleshing out the universe and its characters, but I'm not sure how it'd work as a game. If they use Lady the way she is now, you're already looking at no DT, no Devil Arms and a much heavier focus on gunplay compared to the main series. For all the things the reboot changed, the core gameplay was left more or less intact (if more than a little oversimplified).

Could you drastically alter the core gameplay, the series' main selling point, and still have it feel like a Devil May Cry game?
